I began a tribute to black history on blackplanet.com under Ms_Divyne, but due to a tight schedule, it came to a standstill. Anyway, I've also read some opinions on Amenhotep IV. It seems that he introduced monotheism in Egypt, worshipping Aten, the sun disc god. He changed his name to Akhenaten and established the cult of Aten.

Here's a little known fact: Egypt had a female pharoah, Queen Hatshepsut. Eqypt was very prosperous during her reign. After her death and her stepson came into reign, he had her name removed from everything and all of her images smashed.
